makew0rld/amfora v1.7.0

on GitHub

This release has its own gemlog post. You can read it at gemini://makeworld.space/gemlog/2020-12-20-amfora_v1-7-0.gmi.

Major Feature

The major feature of this release is subscriptions. You can now subscribe to feeds and page inside Amfora and keep track of them! It's your own personal feed aggregator, like CAPCOM and Spacewalk.

Amfora also now has a wiki. If you want to learn about how subscriptions work, or any other feature, that's the place to look.

If you'd like to support Amfora development, as well as my other Gemini projects, you can sponsor me through Ko-Fi or Github Sponsors. Thanks!

User Info

Users of Amfora do not need to make any changes to their setup. But you want to configure some of the new features, you will need to change your configuration file. You can delete the file and let Amfora create the new default one, or modify it yourself.

There is now a [subscriptions] section (see here), as well as a new cache.timeout option (see here), as cached pages will now only be valid for 30 minutes by default.

If you have your own theme for Amfora, you'll want to know that some keys have changed and some new ones have been added. Please check out #149 for more info.
